I'm going to get lynched by the "green laser" people ... but I actually like this idea. Primarily because there's a well thought out, artistic reason behind it, and it's not being proposed just because someone doesn't like the original color. ...However, I'm having trouble picturing them against the lush backdrop of Naboo and not looking bad.

I don't like the idea of all the Jedi having blue lightsabers. It seems too tyrannical and uninclusive which is not what the Republic is about.
